I didn't have epplets loading from .xsession or .xinitrc before, only
since I did the --disable-auto-respawn.  The reason for this is that
since recompiling, none of the epplets appeared at all.  To clarify, the
set up I had BEFORE (which didn't work) was with GDM as the login
manager and the following .xinitrc:


#!/bin/sh
enlightenment &
pid=$!                                                                                 
                                                               
/usr/local/bin/sonypid >/dev/null 2>&1 &
Eterm --foreground-color white --background-color black --geometry 150x48+95+85 
--title "Main Terminal" --resize-gravity &
sudo /usr/bin/tpconfig --tapmode=0
xset m 8
wait $pid                                                                              
                                                               


(The pid thing is just for historical problems with the fluxbox pager --
never got round to removing it when I changed to enlightenment).

Now it is as follows:


#!/bin/sh
enlightenment &
pid=$!                                                                                 
                                                               
/usr/local/bin/sonypid >/dev/null 2>&1 &
Eterm --foreground-color white --background-color black --geometry 150x48+95+85 
--title "Main Terminal" --resize-gravity &
E-Clock.epplet &
E-MoonClock.epplet &
E-Biff.epplet &
E-Biff.epplet &
E-Cpu.epplet &
E-NetFlame.epplet &
E-ScreenSave.epplet &
sudo /usr/bin/tpconfig --tapmode=0
xset m 8
wait $pid

You can count on it!

Thanks again,
